Connection to Python using Anaconda

 So I'm trying to run a basic python script via PowerBi and I am using Anaconda in the background.

 

I get the error:

 

"We encountered an error while trying to connect. Details: "ADO.NET: Python script error. 

 

<pi> File "PythonScriptWrapper.PY", line 13

 

import pandas as pd\u200b

 

^

 

SyntaxError: invalid character in identifier

 

</pi>"

Did you follow the script requirements below ?

  1. The output must be a Panda’s dataframe, and it cannot be nested
  2. The script cannot run longer than 30 minutes or require interactive calls
  3. End the script with print(df
